Land Ahoy Tattoo Studio, established 2006, can be found right in the heart of the city on Glasgow's most famous street. We are situated at 118 Sauchiehall Street where we offer professional tattooing, piercing and laser removal to the highest standards. Our parlour has a spacious bright welcoming atmosphere, full of character.
Tattoo artist and shop owner, Kenny Mitchell, started his career as a graphic designer and computer animator for British Aerospace before turning his hand to his first love, tattooing. After completing his tattoo apprenticeship he began tattooing around Scotland. Kenny then moved to the USA where he re-apprenticed under strict American guidelines.
Cheeky chap Dean Moore splits his time between his hometown of Carlisle and Newcastle, making a couple of trips a year to work with us in Land Ahoy. Former resident artist Kyle Smith found it a little too hard to say goodbye to us when he decided to go "on the road" so you can still find him at Land Ahoy once a month.

On Thursday, the 22nd, I had a tattoo with Dan, all communication discussing the tattoo was indepth and worth while, then after paying the deposit, Which he was really good with, I went to get my tattoo, he was on time and after filling in the details needed he showed me the design in person, he designed it and showed me on instagram first which looked fantadtic, after getting started, admittedly, the tattoo was in a more nippy location but dan was talkative, friendly, he let me know what he was doing all the way through without causing qny stress or worry, he knew when to talk and when not too

Crackin talented bunch of artists, always feel welcome and all the tattoos I've had done have been great quality. Kenny always accommodates whatever I want and makes sure they are healing well. Always feel comfortable as the shops always so clean and tidy. Can't wait to come back when they open back up fingers crossed it's soon 🙏

I’ve now had two piercings and two tattoos done at LA and I can only recommend it!
Sara was super accommodating and helpful when I wanted some changes done to my tattoo which the resulted in the most amazing grumpy radish!
Fiona pierced my conch and idiot me fumbled with it so I had it fall out and had a mini freak out she immediately put it back in and was incredibly patient with me!
My go-to place in Glasgow now!

Amazing tattoo shop with friendly and talented artists. They’re always approachable if you have any questions and their designs always look great. Fiona has microbladed my eye brows and has done a few of my… piercings. She was super patient with my insane amount of questions and made sure to go through all my proper aftercare with me. It’s a great shop and a great team and I highly recommend them.

Got my fingers tattooed by Fiona yesterday and she was so lovely! The atmosphere was very chilled, was seen first thing and the tattoo was over in a blink. Fiona made sure I was comfortable, chatted throughout and made sure I knew about the healing process because of where it is. Would definitely recommend and will be back!😄

Student Visitor to Glasgow and felt so welcomed at this shop! Me and some pals were greeted by Fiona, and consulted with Marcus within our first 10mins of arriving. Marcus was great at communicating prices and helping each of us tweak our designs! I went with something simple, and Marcus made it awesome! Quite a signature of Scotland for me to take home and truly a great experience at this shop. Ask about the Boston-Minotaur Story from the Owner.

Had a great experience getting tattooed here yesterday. The studio was clean and comfortable, the staff were professional and friendly and put me at ease, the tattoo artist, Marcus, was very thorough in making sure I was absolutely happy with the design and placement before tattooing and checked to make sure I was alright to continue several times during the process. The experience was wonderful and I'm very happy with the results. Would absolutely recommend Land Ahoy to tattoo newbies and veterans alike and I will be visiting again.

I had a fantastic experiance yesterday with Sara at Land Ahoy. Sara is a very talented tattoo artist, she was able to envision exactly what I wanted in my tattoo. All of the staff were very nice and very… patient and willing to work with me. Thank you Sara and Fiona and all at Land Ahoy tattoo. P.S. origionally from Paisley, Scotland but currently reside in California, was on holiday visiting family!!

Kenny did an amazing job on my first tattoo and I’m still coming back 4 tattoos later.
Staff and studio are first class. Brilliant environment.
Kenny is an incredible artist - took the idea I had and made it even better on skin. Ross did an amazing job on a small wrist piece. Over the moon with all the pieces I’ve got and can't wait to go back in a few weeks for my next one.
Can't recommend enough!

Whilst it looks small on the outside, inside it’s massive, spotlessly clean, covered in art and even exhibits local artwork (which we loved)! The people at land ahoy clearly love what they’re doing, and they’re so talented - 3 of us got walk in tattoos there and we’re so glad we chose them! Everyone - from whoever is at reception to whoever is tattooing- is so friendly and lovely; we got tattood by Sergi and he was really considerate, listened to what we wanted & reviewed and updated the draft tattoos until we were completely happy. Honestly, we were so impressed! 5 stars!

Excited with my new tattoo by Roberto! Amazing artist and very friendly guy! He designed exactly what I had in mind and the result in my arm is great! Furthermore he offered to fix for free some -annoying- details in a tattoo I had a couple of months earlier by another artist. Very good studio and fair prices!
